Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is doing well!

Not too much going on with us.........John is working for ATW now.  He was laid off in October and called back in February.  He has been doing some traveling to Indy.  Long days but he loves the work he does. He does electrical wiring for assembly lines.

I am still at UD.  Very busy right now!!   We are implementing a new computer system and it is a lot of work putting all the information in.  UD also has the biggest freshmen class coming this year....2063 was the last count.  Since we are going on the new system we have to register the freshmen by hand so more work.  It is job security I guess!  I do really love UD!

How about them Flyers!!!  Winning the NIT!!!  John, Jenny and I have season tickets....we are Flyer Faithful! Jenny and I took the bus trip to Cincy to watch them beat the Cincinnati Bearcats.  Had a great time! Wanted to go to New York when they won the NIT but could not find the time.  My two favorite teams playing...UD and North Carolina....and UD winning!!!!  Doesn't get any better!

Love spending time with Gabrielle.  She is so much fun and such a joy!  It is like watching Jenny grow up all over again.  John and I love to spoil her!!!!

Kristi is still at Children's Hospital just not in Urgent Care anymore. She is in the Emergency room now. Still loves it.  She moved in with a friend last year and just recently rescued a dog.  She got a Jack Russell and her name is Jersey.  Jersey is a special needs dog.  The vet thinks she had a stroke when she was born. Jersey can only turn to the right and she bounces (prances) instead of walking.  She is adorable!

Keith is still living at home but hoping to move out soon!  He is still working for M & R Technologies.

This summer we are going on a house boat with Jenny and Justin.  It should be alot of fun!!!!  Went a few years ago and had a blast!  Not doing too much because of  this economy.

Dad sold their house in Sept.   That was hard!!! I had to keep telling myself...it is only a house, it is only a house...you have the memories in your heart.  Still hard!  He moved in with his friend Delores Bierlein. Delores and her husband Bill sold the house on Pritz to mom and dad.  Small world!  They have fun together and I am he has someone to do things with.  His new address is...............

3849 Kemp Rd
Beavercreek, Ohio  45431
426-5740

I am sure he would love to hear from everyone......you know men....they don't call or write!!!

Hope everyone has a great and safe summer!!!!!!!  Love to all!

Hello to all! Boy did 2008 fly by!

As you all know by now GM Truck and Bus is no more. John was laid off in January 2008 and called
back in May 2008. He worked until the end of June and then took the buyout. Smart move! He then went back to the place he left to go to GM.....Advanced Assembly Automation. They hired him back and he has been working there since July. He loves it....hates the hours. He works 8 to 10 hours at day....7 days a week. But with this economy he is glad he has a job!

I am celebrating my 30th year at UD! I still love my job! The people I work with are great! John and I still go to the Flyers home games. We have season tickets. Love the Flyers! This year we are going to the NCAA 1 and 2 round in March at the arena. We went a couple of years ago and loved it. We saw North Carolina, Ohio State, Georgetown, George Mason, Michigan State all play at UD.

Kristi is finishing Nursing at Sinclair. I think she has about 4 quarters left. She took a some time off and started up again in January...that put her a little behind. She is celebrating her 5th year at Dayton Childrens Hospital. That is what she wants to do......a peds nurse. I am very proud of her...she has never given up her goal to become a nurse....just taking her a little longer.

Keith is working full time at M & R Technologies. He does the shipping and receiving or whatever
else needs to be done. He bought his first car in 2008.....a Pontiac G5. It is so nice! He hangs out with his friends alot and is really good on Guitar Hero!

As you all know Jenny and Justin had little Gabrielle in August. She is so cute! I love spending time with her. Jenny has a special name for Gabby to call me.....Auntie Granny! Too cute! She is a special little girl with lots of special angels watching down on her.

This summer Gary and Chris' daughter Ashley got married. Her husband's name is AJ and he just left for the Marines. The wedding was really nice and Ashley seems very happy. Gary's son Darryl graduated from Beavercreek High School and is now attending Sinclair. Their youngest daughter Danyell is a freshman in high school. She plays soccer.

Dad has meet a lady friend and they have been doing alot of stuff together. Her name is Delores Bierline and she is very nice. Her husband and her sold mom and dad the house on Pritz 48 years ago. She lost her husband last August. They have alot of fun together and I am glad that dad has someone to spend time with. Dad and I went to Uncle Fritz' funeral in St. Louis. It was nice to spend time with him!

Jimmy is busy with work and going down to his land is Southern Ohio. He lost his dog Oscar in 2008 and is thinking about getting a new one.

That covers about everyone............hope everyone has a great year! Let's try to have a reunion soon!

Love to All,
Patty

Hello to everyone!

We have had a busy year..............John and I put a pool in our backyard. The process took forever....we never thought we would be done. Our yard is not flat so they had to dig down about 31/2 feet to make the yard level....then the pool installers took forever. It took about 3 months to finally be ready to swim.....but how wonderful it is!!!! John built a deck around it and it attaches to our other deck. The whole thing looks so much better than I ever thought! We have palm trees and lights around the pool.......it is so much fun!

John is still working at GM as of this newsletter. You never know what is going to happen next with the auto industry. Right now they are in contract talks....so hopefully they will sign one soon. John is not bowling anymore.....just on the Nintendo Wii. Keith has followed in his father’s footsteps and is bowling on Thursday nights. He is really good! John had some minor surgery done in July....everything went well and he is fine!

Me, still at UD and loving it! I still try to make it the gym at least 3 times a week. I have also been taking a dance class called Zumba. It is fun! The weight doesn't come off like it used to.....but I feel better when I go to the gym. I try to help dad as much I he will let me with mom. I would like to do more....but dad has everything under control. Just got our basketball tickets for the Flyers so we will be attending the home games. On New Years last year....John and I, and Jenny and Justin went to North Carolina to watch the Flyers play the TarHeels. I love basketball and the TarHeels and Flyers are my favorites....so it was awesome to see them play. I was in heaven!!! We had a great time.....even though the Flyers losted!!!!

Kristi is still working at Childrens Urgent Care and in the nursing program at Sinclair. She should be done in about 2 years! It has been a long road......I am glad she finally settled on Nursing! She is living in Vandalia. We don't see her as much as we want......she is so busy!!!!I It is hard for me to except that she is 25 and on her own! Wow how time flies!

Keith is no longer working at Treasure Island Supper Club. He recently quit. He is working at M & R Technology where Jenny works. Kristi also worked there. He seems to really enjoy it! He has also taken up bowling and is bowling in a league. He is really good! He hangs out a lot with all his friends. He is still living at home which I am glad. With John working nights...it is nice to have Keith around.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers, cards and visits for mom. She has so many people who love her.... it is amazing!

Take care....have a wonderful and safe holiday!
